I just read that Xunlei is the most popular BitTorrent client in China.

Does it not upload to none Xunlei clients or does it leech Bittorent entirely? I can’t imagine one that is a pure leech could exist without harming BitTorrent

I'm not sure. Some say that Xunlei does upload to other Xunlei clients, so they have to identify themselves in the connection (rather than try to emulate other clients and secretly leech the swarm).
